"No more interruptions. I've been hunting pathetic criminals all day. I turned in twenty eight to the police. How many did you catch?" Katsuki asked from the other end of the sparring space.
Izuku stood with one leg back, on the other side. "We successfully caught one."
"We? You caught one and it wasn't even you alone?" Katsuki rolled his eyes. "Don't do this to me now. Every time we've gone against each other, whether I win or lose, you've always found the way to embarrass me about it."
"One criminal or hundreds, beating me will get you noticed either way, Kacchan." Izuku smirked. "But if I were to beat you, think of the attention I'd get."
Katsuki roared and blasted explosions from his hands facing back, propelling his body forward.
Izuku activated One For All and met his rival halfway across.
A crowd quickly began to appear and some were already cheering. Not just because they were among the few who still could use their Quirks, but also because of the incredible power they both possessed.
Izuku was able to swiftly grab Katsuki and fling his body down on the ground.
However, Katsuki had trained against close-combat attacks and twisted his body around, blasting Izuku's face and redirecting the slam on his opponent, slamming Izuku on to his back.
They crowd cheered louder.
"C'mon, babe! You got this! Kick his ass!" Ochako shouted in support of Izuku.
"Heh. Of all the times we fought, you only beat me once." Katsuki said planting the bottom of his boot on to Izuku's chest.
Izuku groaned and coughed before gripping the boot with both hands. "You talk too much, Kacchan."
Using his power again, he threw Katsuki's foot off then kicked himself up, raising his fist and meeting Katsuki's already disoriented face.
Katsuki groaned and flew back to the other end of the ring.
Izuku chuckled and stood tall.
Katsuki groaned in anger and scrambled to his feet. "You're dead, Midoriya!"
Izuku activated Black Whip and launched the intertwined black tendrils at the explosion-Quirk user.
He tried to torch the whip with his blasts but it still managed to wrap around his arm securely.
The green-haired man turned his body around, exaggerating his recoil and calling Black Whip back, along with Katsuki's body. He jumped forward and planted his knee into his opponent's stomach, stopping him in midair and sending him to the ground below on to his knees.
"Surrender?" Izuku asked.
Katsuki sputtered and wretched as he clutched his stomach. "Very impressive..." He moaned. "But I will never admit surrender..."
Izuku sighed. "Kacchan, when are you going to learn that-"
BOOM
"You talk too much!" Katsuki interrupted him by raising his hands and blasting Izuku with all his might.
Izuku was sent flying back to the end of the ring, hitting the ropes that separated them from out of bounds.
Katsuki roared and got to his feet, quickly rushing after Izuku to finish him off.
"Get up, sensei!" Hansuke called from the crowd.
A few others called to Izuku, voting on him in favor of Katsuki.
Izuku's eyes grew red and blasted the incoming enemy with Fire Sight, torching the front of his hero costume and knocking him back.
"How many Quirks does this guy have?!" Someone asked.
Ochako chuckled. "Oh, Deku's just both terribly lucky and unlucky."
"Dammit!" Katsuki roared.
It gave Izuku just enough time to get back up and charge him again, this time, focusing on using his legs, to avoid overusing his arms.
He swung his leg from the side.
"SMAAAASH!"
Katsuki easily dodged the kick and leapt up, blasting at Izuku, only to be dodged back.
The two battled in close quarters, at very fast speeds. It quickly turned into a game of reflexes. Like the Western party game Ninja but at much faster speeds than most others could produce.
"It's like watching the moon battle the sun..." Hansuke gasped.
"Yeah they're both very impressive." Ochako said, not daring to let her eyes leave the battle for a second.
Shoto Todoroki sighed. "I don't often fight like that."
"Because you're more mid to long range, sweetie." Momo added. "You'd either freeze them or fry them before they got close."
"Do you think I should work on my close ranges?"
"Well, you could always freeze or fry if they're touching you. It's no wonder you and they made the Big Three our senior year of UA." Momo complimented.
Shoto gave her a warm smile. "Thank you, Momo."
As visually amazing as the battle was, it was slowly turning into that of a stalemate. And the crowd could see it. Their moves and abilities were becoming repetitive.
It was there that Katsuki could see in the crowd boredom.
"They're sick of us beating on each other with no results, nerd! Time to end this!" He shouted.
"Couldn't have said it any better myself, Kacchan!" Izuku shouted back.
They each struck a blow to one another's faces. Izuku's foot to Katsuki's face, and Katsuki's fist to Izuku's cheek.
Using Black Whip, Izuku grabbed Katsuki and simply swung him around a few times, before letting him go and throwing him past the ropes and out of bounds.
"Ground Zero is out of bounds. The winner is Deku." The announcer said, just as disappointed with the anti-climatic ending as most of the crowd was.
Izuku's face dropped to equal disappointment and shame.
"Don't worry, babe! You did great! That's an honorable win in my book!" Ochako shouted.
Hansuke didn't mind how the fight played out. He knew vaguely about the history between Izuku and Katsuki. Despite the rather boring chain of events in this one fight, it was a grand victory for team Deku.
Izuku looked over at his few loyal fans and smiled.
"Do a flip!" Hansuke shouted.
"Yeah!" Ochako added.
The victorious hero chuckled then jumped up and performed a flashy backflip with his Quirk, landing hard on his feet proudly.
It was a good break from what was going on in the world.
[Author's Note: I don't often make author notes but I felt I should clarify that Izuku's third Quirk "Fire Sight" is NOT canon. It's not one of his many Quirks, I just made it up to be one. It's years in the future, he's bound to have unlocked more than just Black Whip, and not just because of the plot, but he doesn't use it often. I feel that realistically, each Quirk takes a lot out of him, even with All Might's inherited stamina. Thank you.]
